Points for making Calvinball goal 1 and so happy about this one. So many times I think I will do a challenge and not get a single page done so I am thrilled. I am having a lot of fun with the list of rules and thinking outside my normal comfort zone to.

Points for ordering prints
Points for cleaning up or organizing photos 12

3/7 -- I've removed the manual totals I was posting because I've now got a spreadsheet where I update the rules and tally for each layout/card/planner page/art journal page. Not sure if I need to post anything but total points in this spot. This is the most math I've used since college!

First post, first time Calvinball player. Looking forward to this a great deal!

O.k. Worked on a couple of digi pages, project bits and then through the first few months of the 2016 PL album.

w/ending 4/3/16

26 pages for a journal - 13 points (each is max A5, made the page, added tape/paper/quote so counted them as a tag/card)

Claiming my spot. I am a Calvinball newbie, but super excited to play along
